We’ve had
of
addictions
I had a different personality when
I was around different people. My
friends introduced me to pornography,
resulting in a lack of value for women.
I was unemployed, full of anger
problems, addicted and failing in my
education.
“I was a young emotionally unstable girl.
I would always feel angry or very sad. It
seemed that there was an empty space
inside me that was impossible to fill. I also
suffered from nightmares that tormented
me during my sleep.
Trying to find joy, I resorted to drinking,
and I did so heavily. But that happiness
was momentary. The idea of suicide
began to plague my mind. I believed
suicide would end all my pain.”
Someone I used to have fights with
in school, but had changed his life
through the help of the Help Centre. He
invited me there, instead of looking for
revenge. I went and made a decision to
change my life. I cut off the people who
were no good for me and put what I
was learning into practice.
After many battles, I’ve had a complete
transformation. I’m free from addictions.
My future is bright.

“I went to the Help Centre for support and
I started to attend the meetings. It was
not easy by any means. I told myself to
be persistent because I would always give
up when I became depressed. Gradually,
with attendance and courage, I overcame
my addictions, and my bad thoughts
no longer controlled me. I had no more
desire to die, and I began to write my
story. Today I have inner peace.”
